High-sucrose diets contribute to brain angiopathy and higher brain dysfunctions

Except that US food culture emphasizes sugar as a keystone ingredient. It's so ingrained into the American palate at this point, it would present a competitive disadvantage to remove it from your food or restaurant.

Sugar is put into everything. Cereal, sauces, drinks, bread, meat, salad dressing, mashed potatoes. If you try to eat without sugar for the first time in a while, you'll be in total shock by how bland things taste. And your body won't tolerate the change either.

We're signing ourselves up for diabetes, inflammation, brain disease, physiological and mental dysfunction, and a multitude of other disease states by continuing the status quo.

Sugar is poison by the sheer volume with which we consume it.

Source? If I'm understanding correctly you're saying that people experience physical withdraw symptoms for sugar?

I experience physical withdrawal from sugar. There isn't really any medical literature to back it up. It gives me sinus headaches so I do not consume it at all. The multiple times I've cut it out (took a few tries) I would get quite sick for 12-24 hours. Strong sinus headache, cold sweat, shivering, vomiting, diarrhea.
